Walk this morning up The Mendip Way to the top of Cheddar Gorge where we got caught in a rainstorm (BIG time) so wet ugh.
Managed to get down safely. Managed to see the goats but they had the best sheltered spots under the trees SOB SOB! came back down the 274 steps on The Jacobs Ladder again.
Must try to go up them tomorrow. Had another good walk this evening now all our clothes are dry.
